movie quote of the week

Stu: Oh my God, I can't believe I gave away my grandmother's Holocaust ring to a complete stranger.
Alan: I didn't even know they gave out rings during the Holocaust!

Gathering of Kings

not quite finding it, but still willing to search for, just the right balance

virtuous patience and the prayerful longing I have for it

accepting that God's will is not always my will - actually, rarely is it so - but knowing that His way is best

needing - and blessedly having - friends who hold me up and give me love when I need it most

knowing that where I am is where I am supposed to be at this moment, on this day

the incredible strength of my husband

the elephant-clopping of a horse-size dog

the independence and womanhood and innate goodness of my only child

having not two, but four good legs and an ever-wagging, happy tail

the hope of an epiphany on the Feast of Epiphany
